"The Chalice"

"... leopards break into the temple and drink the sacrificial chalices dry; this occurs repeatedly, again and again; finally it can be reckoned upon beforehand and becomes part of the ceremony ..."- Franz Kafka

"Selfportrait of the Artist With Monster Teeth"manipulated digital photograph by Mick Mather

I was thinking that a bit of an explanation might be useful with today's post. Both of my granddaughters enjoy playing a game called "monster" where Poppa slowly chases them around the house, grunting and growling and making proper monster noises. On this particular day I suggested that we make some scary teeth for the monster ... here they are! :)

About Me

In its short-sightedness, blogger has turned its back on those of us stuck with old operating systems and I'm forced to find a new blog host. You will now find MickMathersARTblog at Blog.com - use the direct link found in the masthead and remember to update your bookmarks.
This place will continue as another archive for a large body of my work. As many of you know, my primary medium and working method is digital collage composed of manipulated photographs often combined with digital drawing & generative images.
Netlabels, bands and musicians can view samples of my CD Cover Art at Mick Mather Illustration located on Tumblr.
In another life I was an Arts & Culture consultant specializing in revitalization planning through creative public art projects and programs with Economic & Community Development Departments of towns, villages and cities. In these hard financial times this work is more important than ever and I still accept consultancy inquiries. You can contact me by email at: mickmather@yahoo.com
